< Acts 5 >

1 A certayne man named Ananias with Saphira his wyfe solde a possession
A man now certain Ananias named with Sapphira the wife of him sold a property
2 and kepte awaye parte of the pryce (his wyfe also beynge of counsell) and brought a certayne parte and layde it doune at the Apostles fete.
and he kept back from the proceeds, already being aware also the wife (of him, *k*) and having brought a portion certain at the feet of the apostles he laid [it].
3 Then sayde Peter: Ananias how is it that Satan hath filled thyne hert that thou shuldest lye vnto the holy goost and kepe awaye parte of the pryce of the lyvelod:
Said however (*no*) Peter; Ananias, because of why has filled Satan the heart of you to lie to [for] you the Spirit Holy and to keep back (yourself *o*) from the proceeds of the land?
4 Pertayned it not vnto the only and after it was solde was not the pryce in thyne awne power? How is it that thou hast coceaved this thinge in thyne herte? Thou hast not lyed vnto men but vnto God.
Surely remaining to you it was remaining And having been sold in the own authority it was? Why for did you purpose in the heart of you deed this? Not you have lied to men but to God!
5 When Ananias herde these wordes. he fell doune and gave vp the goost. And great feare came on all the that these thinges hearde.
Hearing now Ananias words these having fallen down he breathed his last. And came fear great upon all those hearing (these things; *k*)
6 And the yonge men roose vp and put him a parte and caryed him out and buryed him.
Having arisen then the younger [men] covered him and having carried [him] out they buried [him].
7 And it fortuned as it were aboute the space of. iii. houres after that his wyfe came in ignoraunt of that which was done.
It came to pass now about hours three afterward also the wife of him not knowing that having come to pass came in.
8 And Peter sayde vnto her: Tell me gave ye the londe for so moche? And she sayde: ye for so moche
Replied then (to *no*) (her *N(k)O*) (*k*) Peter; do tell me if for so much the land you sold? And she said; Yes for so much.
9 Then Peter sayde vnto her: why have ye agreed to gether to tept the sprete of the Lorde? Beholde the fete of them which have buryed thy husbande are at the dore and shall cary the out.
But Peter (said *k*) to her; Why [is it] for it was agreed together by you to test the Spirit of [the] Lord? Behold the feet of those having buried the husband of you [are] at the door and they will carry out you.
10 Then she fell doune strayght waye at his fete and yelded vp the goost. And the yonge men came in and founde her ded and caryed her out and buryed her by her husbande.
She fell down then immediately (at *N(k)O*) the feet of him and breathed her last; Having come in then the young [men] found her dead, and having carried out they buried [her] by the husband of her;
11 And great feare came on all the congregacion and on as many as hearde it.
And came fear great upon all the church and upon all those hearing these things.
12 By the hondes of the Apostles were many signes and wondres shewed amoge the people. And they were all together with one acorde in Salomons porche.
By now the hands of the apostles (were happening *N(k)O*) signs and wonders many among the people; And they were with one accord (all *NK(o)*) in the Colonnade of Solomon;
13 And of other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neverthelater the people magnyfied them.
of the now rest no [one] was daring to join with them, but were magnifying them the people.
14 The noumbre of them that beleved in the Lorde bothe of men and wemen grewe moare and moare:
more now were added believing in the Lord, multitudes of men both and women,
15 in so moche that they brought the sicke into the strettes and layde them on beddes and palettes that at the lest waye the shadowe of Peter when he came by myght shadowe some of them.
so as (even *no*) (into *N(k)O*) the streets to bring out the sick and to put [them] on (cots *N(k)O*) and mats, that when is coming Peter at least at least the shadow (shall envelop *NK(o)*) some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of ye cities roud about vnto Ierusalem bringynge sicke folkes and them which were vexed with vnclene spretes. And they were healed every one.
Were coming together now also the multitude from the surrounding cities (into *k*) Jerusalem bringing [the] sick and [those] being tormented by spirits unclean, who were healed all.
17 Then ye chefe preste rose vp and all they that were with him (which is the secte of the Saduces) and were full of indignacion
Having risen up however the high priest and all those with him, which is being [the] sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy
18 and layde hondes on the Apostles and put them in the comen preson.
and they laid the hands (of them *k*) on the apostles and put them in [the] jail public.
19 But the angell of the Lorde by nyght openned the preson dores and brought them forthe and sayde:
An angel however of [the] Lord during (the *k*) night (having opened *N(k)O*) the doors of the prison, having brought out then them said;
20 goo steppe forthe and speake in the temple to the people all the wordes of this lyfe.
do go and having stood do speak in the temple to the people all the declarations of the life this.
21 When they hearde that they entred into the temple erly in the morninge and taught. The chefe prest came and they that were with him and called a counsell to gedder and all the elders of the chyldren of Israel and sent to the preson to fet them.
Having heard now they entered at the dawn into the temple and were teaching. Having come now the high priest and those with him they called together the Council even all the Senate of the sons of Israel and sent to the prison house to bring them.
22 When the ministres came and founde them not in the preson they returned and tolde
And having come [the] officers not did find them in the prison. having returned then they reported back
23 sayinge: the preson founde we shut as sure as was possible and the kepers stondynge with out before ye dores. But whe we had opened we founde no man with in.
saying that The (indeed *k*) prison house we found shut with all security and the guards (outside *K*) already standing (before *N(k)O*) the doors, having opened [them] however inside no [one] we found.
24 When the chefe prest of all and the ruler of the temple and the hye prestes hearde these thinges they douted of them whervnto this wolde growe.
When now they heard words these both (the priest and the *K*) captain of the temple and the chief priests were perplexed concerning them, what maybe would be this.
25 Then came one and shewed them: beholde ye men yt ye put in preson stonde in the teple and teache the people.
Having come then a certain one he reported to them (saying *k*) that Behold the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple already standing and teaching the people!
26 Then went the ruler of the teple with ministers and brought the with out violence. For they feared the people lest they shuld have bene stoned.
Then having gone the captain with the officers (was bringing *N(k)O*) them not with force, they were afraid of for the people (so that *k*) lest they may be stoned.
27 And when they had brought them they set them before the counsell. And ye chefe preste axed the
Having brought then them they set [them] in the Council. And asked them the high priest
28 sayinge: dyd not we straytely comaunde you that ye shuld not teache in this name? And beholde ye have filled Ierusalem with youre doctrine and ye intende to brynge this mans bloud vpon vs.
saying; (Surely *NK*) by a charge we commanded you not to teach in name this. And behold you have filled Jerusalem with the teaching of you and you intend to bring upon us the blood of the man this.
29 Peter and the other Apostles answered and sayde: We ought moare to obey God then men.
Answering however (*k*) Peter and the apostles said; To obey it is necessary to God rather than to men.
30 The God of oure fathers raysed vp Ie Iesus whom ye slewe and hanged on tre.
The God of the fathers of us raised up Jesus whom you yourselves killed having hanged [Him] on a tree;
31 Him hath god lifte vp with his right hand to be a ruler and a savioure for to geve repetauce to Israell and forgevenes of synnes.
Him God [as] Prince and Savior exalted by the right hand of Him (*no*) to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his recordes concernynge these thinges and also the holy goost whom God hath geve to them yt obey him.
And we ourselves are (of him *k*) witnesses of the declarations these and also the Spirit (now *k*) Holy whom has given God to those obeying Him.
33 When they hearde yt they clave asunder: and sought meanes to slee them.
And (having heard *NK(o)*) they felt cut up and (they were desiring *N(k)O*) to execute them.
34 Then stode ther vp one in ye counsell a Pharisey named Gamaliel a doctoure of lawe had in auctorite amoge all the people and commaunded to put the Apostles a syde a lytell space
Having risen up however a certain [man] in the Council a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, he commanded [them] outside for a short (while *k*) the (men *N(K)O*) to put,
35 and sayde vnto them: Men of Israel take hede to youre selves what ye entende to do as touchinge these men
He said then to them; Men Israelites, do take heed to yourselves with men these what you are about to do.
36 Before these dayes rose vp one Theudas bostinge him selfe to whom resorted a nombre of men about a foure hondred which was slayn and they all which beleved him were scatred a broode and brought to nought.
Before for these days rose up Theudas affirming to be somebody himself, to whom (were joined *N(k)(o)*) of men number (about *N(k)O*) four hundred; who was executed, and all as many as were persuaded by him they were dispersed and they it came to no [thing].
37 After this man arose ther vp one Iudas of Galile in the tyme when tribute began and drewe awaye moche people after him. He also perisshed: and all even as many as harkened to him are scattered a brood.
After this man rose up Judas the Galilean in the days of the registration and drew away people (significant number of *K*) after him; And he And he perished, and all as many as were persuaded by him were scattered.
38 And now I saye vnto you: refrayne youre selves from these men let them alone. For yf ye cousell or this worke be of men it will come to nought.
And now I say to you, do withdraw from men these and (do release *N(k)O*) them, for if shall be from men plan this or work this, it will be overthrown;
39 But and yf it be of God ye can not destroye it lest haply ye be founde to stryve agaynst God.
if however from God it is, not (you will be able *N(k)O*) to overthrow (them, *N(K)O*) otherwise otherwise also fighting against God You shall be found.
40 And to him they agreed and called the Apostles and bet them and comaunded that they shuld not speake in ye name of Iesu and let them goo.
They were persuaded now by him, and having called in the apostles having beaten they commanded [them] not to speak in the name of Jesus and released (them. *k*)
41 And they departed from the counsell reioysynge yt they were counted worthy to soffre rebuke for his name.
They indeed therefore were departing rejoicing from [the] presence of the Council, that they had been counted worthy for the Name (*o*) (of him *K(O)*) to suffer dishonor;
42 And dayly in the teple and in every housse they ceased not teachinge and preachinge Iesus Christ.
Every then day in the temple and in house not they were ceasing teaching and evangelising [that] the Christ [is] Jesus.
